"I know, Fourth Master, you are the prince who fought on the battlefield, even if he borrowed a hundred dares from Lord Lan, he would not dare to touch you. Yuan Xi smiled gently: "I heard that Lord Lan wants to marry the family's concubine Lan Yuxu to His Royal Highness, if this is the case, he will not dare to do anything to you." This sect master is not a fool, isn't it a waste of time to ask him for help?"

While speaking, Mother Zhong had already rushed over with a lot of people who were watching the excitement, and there were many people who were afraid of missing it. Xiao Rongcheng glared: "What's going on?"

"Hmm...... Probably admired the majesty of His Royal Highness, and came to see you split the wine jar. Your Highness, I heard that you can split three jars of wine with one sword, but don't lose face in front of the people. Yuan Xi hooked his hand: "Boss Lu, distribute the newly made buns in your store to the people to taste." ”

Lu Shenglin answered, and asked his subordinates to bring out the steamed buns in the cage drawer and give them to the people watching the excitement to eat. This bun is not only big, but also filling, and everyone who has tasted it applauded.

"What's the situation?" Xiao Rongcheng asked his soldiers in a low voice.

The soldiers of the Lijun Palace, look at me, I look at you, no one can say clearly. I just felt that the smell of meat and dough in the air was really fascinating, and a few of the soldiers had begun to grunt with hunger, and they could only endure it because of Xiao Rongcheng's obscenity.

"There are a lot of fresh ingredients in the store every day, and they can't be fried anymore, and the chefs can't finish them, so they chop up the ingredients and steam them into steamed buns. Good quality and low price, only two coppers per bun to ensure that there is meat in the mouth. The guy in the upper cabinet introduced while handing out buns.

Xiao Rongcheng was robbed of the scene by a basket of buns, which was a little embarrassing.

"The bun is good, what about the strong man who can split three jars of wine with one sword?" I don't know who in the crowd was the first to shout, and when he shouted, the curious people shouted.

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Rongcheng roared.

Yuan Xi hooked the corners of his lips: "The fourth master won't worry about the people, right?"

"Why don't you split? Are you afraid?"

"That's right, we're here to see Hercules, if we don't split, we'll leave, and we'll have to go back to do the laundry!"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Fourth master, split?"

Xiao Rongcheng glanced at the onlookers, and said in a low voice: "You have used this king as a street warrior who performs along the street!"

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows: "How dare you?" It's just that I'm afraid that no one will see the fourth master's tiger might." If the fourth master wants to split, hurry up and split, if the fourth master doesn't want to split, he will compensate Boss Lu's loss. Roughly deliberately, five hundred taels of silver is enough. ”

"You!" Xiao Rongcheng looked at Yuan Xi with a deflated look: "This king's annual income is only one thousand taels, I see that you are crazy for silver." ”

"What's the matter? The fourth master's face is not worth five hundred taels of silver?"

Xiao Rongcheng glared at Yuan Xi vigorously: "Count you ruthless!

"Alas, if the fourth master can't split three jars of wine with one knife, one jar of wine that is broken will be counted as ten taels of silver. Coupled with the previous five hundred taels, presumably the fourth master can calculate it clearly. ”

"Why!?"

"Just by virtue of the fourth master just stepping on the plaque inscribed by the emperor himself. Yuan Xi said in a low voice: "If the prince participates in a book, I'm afraid that the prince will really not be able to get off the stage." ”

Xiao Rongcheng held the sword, feeling that his lungs were about to explode, this surnamed Wei was simply too deceitful! He turned around and stepped to the side of the wine jar, stretched out his hand and touched it, although this wine jar is not very hard, but it is really embarrassing to want to split the three altars with one sword. Don't say it's him, even if it's the Qin Dynasty's Wu Shou Ren Contempt, he may not be able to split it, right?

The crowd began to whisper, and some people who had practiced swords and fists for a few days began to shake their heads, saying that one knife and three jars of wine were simply nonsense, even if there was such a fast knife, there was no one with so much power.

Xiao Rongcheng was helpless, so he had to raise his sword and try it, he tried his best, and his body turned around the sword several times in a row before he dared to hit the sword on the wine jar. This jar more than half a man high, where can a sword split? Sure enough, Xiao Rongcheng's sword barely split a hole in the wine jar, and the water and wine flowed out of it.

There was a burst of snickering from the crowd.

"I knew, how could it be?"

"Three jars of wine? I haven't even split a jar now, haha, I can really brag about it. ”

Xiao Rongcheng felt a fever on his face, looked at Yuan Xi angrily, stepped on the wine vat, and pulled out his sword after a while.

"Five hundred and ten taels. Do you want to try again?"

"No need!" Xiao Rongcheng roared, hurriedly withdrew his sword, and stepped on the horse's back in a gray manner: "The silver will be sent to you immediately!"

Xiao Rongcheng grabbed the horse's belly and fled from the upper cabinet as if flying. There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and a few people who had eaten the buns came over: "Do you still have to sell the buns?"

Lu Shenglin nodded and motioned for the guys to take out the remaining buns and sell them to the onlookers. At the same time, he asked someone to move the remaining wine jar back to the wine cellar.

"Sect Master, King Lijun has lost face this time, I'm afraid that he will take revenge for personal gain, should you make some preparations early?"

Yuan Xi looked back at Lu Shenglin: "Take care of your store, I'll handle the rest." ”

Lu Shenglin didn't ask any more, lowered his head and said yes. Yuan Xi said again: "I'll bring a guy to you in a few days, don't treat him as an ordinary guy, try to teach him some ways to do business, this person will be used in the future." ”

"Don't worry, leave someone to me, and I will give you a careful training. ”

Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, looked sideways and saw the plaque leaning on the ground, and leaned down to wipe the footprints on it with a handkerchief: "The Lijun Wangfu is guarding the Yulu life. Five hundred taels of silver, enough for him to drink a pot. ”

Xiao Rongcheng snorted and returned to the palace, and ordered his subordinates to prepare the silver, and when he cut his concubine, Yelu Nu'er, quietly walked to his side and asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness today?

"It's not that ......" Xiao Rongcheng wanted to speak and stopped, he was embarrassed to say this kind of faceless thing.

"Who?" asked Jerunuel.

"The Crown Princess. Xiao Rongcheng gritted his teeth and said three words, and stretched out another slap: "Damn, as soon as you open your mouth, you will pit me for five hundred taels." It's really in response to the old saying, businessmen have black hearts. ”

Yelu Nuer raised her eyebrows, although she is a Fanbang woman, she has read a lot of Chinese books, how come she has never heard such an old saying? Presumably, Xiao Rongcheng couldn't find anything to say, so she made it up.

Yelunuer smiled: "Who was I at the time, it turned out to be her." ”

Xiao Rongcheng suddenly turned his head: "What? do you know?"

"I've heard of it," Yelu Nu'er said gently: "The concubine heard that this princess was ruthless, and her six relatives didn't recognize it." By currying favor with the emperor, he first sat on the Donglin County Lord, and then named the Donglin Sect Master. Now that the prince is fascinated again, I heard that even the emperor wants to give her three points of thin noodles. ”

Xiao Rongcheng snorted and sat down to drink tea.

"Is Your Highness angry at the five hundred taels of silver, or at her for playing tricks on you?" asked Jerenuer.

Xiao Rongcheng glanced at her in a daze: "How do you say this?"

Yelunuer smiled and said: "If you are angry with the five hundred taels of silver, someone happens to send us a sum today, and if you are angry that she is playing tricks on you, someone happens to hand you an olive branch." ”

Xiao Rongcheng was silent for a while: "I don't understand this." ”

"Lord Wang, and Aunt Wei from the Prince's Mansion came today and sent us a lot of silk and silk, as well as a thousand taels of silver tickets. She wants to join forces with us. Yelu Nuer sat in Xiao Rongcheng's arms: "Your Highness, should we ignore her?"

And the aunt of the Prince's Mansion? How could she find herself? Xiao Rongcheng was a little puzzled: "If she wants to join forces with us, just tell the eldest brother directly, why do she want to go around in such a big circle? and ask you to come here?"

Yelu Nuer Nunu mouthed and hugged Xiao Rongcheng's neck: "I heard that Prince He doesn't like her to get involved in the matter of taking the heir, but also because she is the concubine of the crown princess, the princess is the concubine of the Wei Mansion, and she is favored by the old lady and the master of the Wei family." I guess Prince He is afraid that she will annoy the Wei family and will not be able to inherit the family property?"

Xiao Rongcheng had a headache when he heard this, and hugged Yelu Nuer's waist: "It's better for you, a Fanbang woman, not as many twists and turns as they have." ”

"I'm good, and so is that Aunt Wei. Yelu Nuer pursed her mouth: "Look, prince, what is the difference between the concubine and the usual today?"

Xiao Rongcheng looked at it for a while and shook his head: "I can't see it." ”

"Look at the mouth of the concubine. Jerunur shook his face.

It seemed to look more vivid than usual, Xiao Rongcheng asked, "What is this?"

Yelunuer smiled: "This is rouge made by mashing fresh rose petals, which is much better than what concubines usually use." ”

"If you like it, you can use this in the future, and add five or two more months to your room every month in the future, so that you can buy rouge. Xiao Rongcheng said.

Yelu Nu'er snorted: "This is sent by Aunt Wei, I'm afraid I can't buy it with silver." ”

Xiao Rongcheng sighed: "This Aunt Wei is quite kind, I didn't know that there was such a delicate and clear character in the eldest brother's mansion." What did you just say about the relationship between the two of them?"

"Sister Shu, Aunt Wei is the concubine of the crown princess. Jerunur replied.

Xiao Rongcheng pondered for a moment, this is good. The sisters who have lived together for many years know each other's weaknesses and sore spots best, and if she helps, the humiliation she received today will be able to be found in Wei Yuanxi sooner or later.

"Ai Concubine, if you are fine, make friends with this Aunt Wei more. Although our mansion is not as rich as the prince's mansion, those fur supplements brought from the border cannot be bought in the capital. Xiao Rongcheng bit Yelu Nuer's ear and sighed vigorously: "If you can really give the crown princess some color to see, this king will give you a great credit." ”

Yelu Nuer bit Xiao Rongcheng's lip: "Your Highness, if it is really done, how can you thank me?"

Xiao Rongcheng was hooked by her delicate voice, and held her in her arms with trembling hands, and Yelunuer exhaled a stream of hot air from the tip of her nose and sprayed it on Xiao Rongcheng's face. Xiao Rongcheng gasped for a while, and walked to the bedroom with her in his arms.

"Ai Concubine, you know the king's mind best, and the king must reward you heavily. ”
